Egyptian Ginats Al Ahly, after their 3-2 win over Sfaxien at the Cairo International Stadium, to lift their sixth African Super Cup became the most decorated club in the world. Ahly despatched Italian Giants AC Milan and Argentine side Boca Juniors as they claimed their 19th International Trophy.
Man Up or Get Out” and “Get Your Manliness Back, We shall not lose a trophy” and “Al Ahly is not the one to go down” read one of the banners in the packed stadium on Thrusday night. No sooner had the Egyptians claimed their title, Italian national paper La Gazzetta Dello Sport dedicated a page in their headlines,” Milan are no longer the moste decorated club in the World.”
Here are the excerpts from the report, courtesy Kingfut.coms
“Al Ahly, who now have 19 international trophies, exceeding Boca Junior’s and AC Milan, want to make checks,” referring to the fact that AC Milan wants to check Al Ahly’s international trophies.
“West-facing fearful gaze was a mistake. Other than Boca, the danger comes from the south: Egypt, Cairo, the city in which plays Al Ahly. What does that have to do with Milan? Simple, and on the same historical day: The day before yesterday, the red and white of the chairman Hassan Hamdy, on the day of the 28th anniversary of the presidency Berlusconi, have passed the Tunisians Sfaxien 3-2, winning their sixth African Super Cup.”
“Well this, merely a trivial addition on the bulletin board, is the nineteenth international title in their history. Fatal news by Aldo Rossi: AC Milan , who share with Boca Junior’s the record (18 titles), won over one hundred titles between national and international competitions (even in the Arab world).”
“The nineteenth success of Al Ahly ousts Milan: 8 CAF Champions League (the European Cup of Africa), 4 African Cup Winners cup , 6 African Super Cups and one Afro-Asian cup. A tournament which looked a bit ‘special ‘but that involves two minor leagues but still official, and that saw Al Ahly impose itself on the Japanese Yomiuri in a final return. The Cup was abolished in ’98, and at that time was the alter ego of that European-South American.”
It has also been reported that Al Ahly now wants the banner in AC Milan to be removed as thay aren’t the most decorated club in the world. Various reports say, The Egyptian Giants now want he Italian side to put up, “We aren’t the one with most International Trophies”
